Hello, I’m Lauren Smith. I’m a supervisor at Evri at the Barnsley hub.

So I started when the Barnsley hub first opened up as warehouse operative. And then I started doing the admin, administrating, checking the staff in and working alongside the resource team. And then I got asked to step up as a supervisor, and this is where I currently am now. And I'm working to become a process manager. So in peak in our busy times, I'm hoping that I'll get stepped up.

So every day is different. I work on inbound currently. So we’re processing the parcels that come inbound. I also work on returns, so we're returning the parcels back to the client and also the parcels to the customers. My favourite part is working with such a great team. We're a really great team, we're like a family here.
